TUS Chapter 179: The Raikage's Plot
🕑 Added 2024-08-29 22:44:05 +0000 UTCLate at night.
The Raikage sat quietly in the office, looking out the window.
The hustle and bustle has recently cleared, and the world seems to have become cleaner.
Funan and Killer Bee stopped singing immediately when it got dark and went back to their homes.
Especially Killer Bee, he ran so fast, as if there was a huge monster chasing him behind him.
The door was pushed open.
Several figures entered in a line.
"Raikage, why are you looking for us at this time?"
These figures are Tsuchikage, Mizukage and Pakura.
The Raikage turned around and said calmly: "All are here."
The few people were startled, and then they understood.
No one came from Konoha.
Then, the purpose of Raikage calling them here is very clear.
Are they preparing to join forces to deal with Konoha?
Onoki laughed softly and said: "Raikage, you are very dissatisfied with Konoha!"
"Are you satisfied?" Raikage said sarcastically: "Don't pretend in front of me, old man Onoki, you probably wish everyone in Konoha would die."
He looked at Pakura and said: “What about Sunagakure? I heard they’re about to become a vassal of Konoha. Is that the life they want?”
Finally, he looked at Terumi Mei.
"It's been four years. How has Kirigakure recovered? From the sea, I can see that you have made a lot of noise."
Terumi Mei's eyes flickered slightly.
In Kumogakure, several profitable businesses are also related to the sea and take the sea route.
It is not difficult for the other party to discover some of their actions.
Moreover, there seems to be a threat in the words of the Raikage.
Kirigakure is currently in the recovery stage, and it is not a good thing to face Kumogakure.
The four people in the office were quiet at the same time.
After a long while, Mei spoke first: "At this stage, Kirigakure is unable to start a war."
Pakura also said: “As for Sunagakure, I do not have the authority to decide.”
Raikage waved his hand and said lightly: "I don't want a war to start either."
"Then you..."
Raikage looked at the Tsuchikage and said: “Old Onoki, aren’t you going to say something? This is losing its meaning.”
"Hehe!" Onoki smiled slightly and said: “Konoha’s development has been too fast. Before, when they had internal problems, the shinobi world was able to remain in balance. But now, with Uchiha Funan in power, Danzo has become a missing-nin, Sarutobi Hiruzen has taken the opportunity to consolidate his control, and Akimichi Torifu has returned to retirement. Konoha is becoming the domain of the Uchiha. This is not good for the shinobi world.”
He looked at the three people present and chuckled. "With the temperament of Uchiha, Pakura-san, Mizukage-san, how long do you think this peace can last?"
Terumi Mei frowned and said: “Old Onoki, have you and Raikage already discussed this?”
“It’s not like we discussed anything.” Onoki explained. “Simply put, we share the same opinion about Konoha. When I arrived and saw that there was no one from Konoha here, I understood the Raikage’s intentions.”
The two women looked at each other and fell silent.
Terumi Mei asked: "What do you want us to do? Join forces to destroy Konoha?"
The Raikage couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: “That’s impossible. We don’t want to start a war, I just heard that Uchiha Funan has refused to meet with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. I think we can cause some trouble for him, destabilize Konoha from within.”
Both women showed signs of interest.
...
Soon, the Chunin Exam began.
The last round, the fight between shinobi.
Funan was also dragged to the venue by Konoha's people.
He found that the venue of the third round was somewhat similar to the venue of the Chunin Exam that Naruto participated in in the Naruto Series.
The only difference was that there was a small pool and an artificial mountain.
"More comprehensive than Konoha's?" Funan looked at it with interest.
"Hey, Hokage!"
Raikage stared at him with a dark face.
"What's wrong?" Funan looked at him blankly.
Raikage still had a gloomy face and said coldly: "What do you think?"
"Yoho!" Funan laughed. "Raikage, judging from your expression, are you very dissatisfied with me? If so, that's right. I like others to be dissatisfied with me the most. The more dissatisfied you are, the happier I am."
Hearing Funan's provocative words, the face of the Raikage was full of murderous intent.
"Ahem!" One of Funan's guards, Yashiro, coughed dryly and whispered: "Hokage-sama, your seat..."
"Seat? What's wrong with the seat?" Funan turned his head and looked, and suddenly his eyes twitched a few times.
Where he sat, there was a word 'Thunder' written on it.
It's not Funan's fault. He has become accustomed to leading, so as he looked at the field, he instinctively sat in the central position.
Funan's behavior seemed like a provocation…
So, Funan was silent.
He looked at the Raikage silently.
The Raikage and others also looked at him silently.
The atmosphere was a little frozen.
Suddenly, Funan made an unexpected move.
He picked up the chair and sat aside.
"I like this chair."
The Raikage was very upset.
[Crack!]
Funan used his hand, tore out the words ‘Thunder’ and ‘Fire’, and placed them on their respective chairs.
“This chair looks good, perfect for me.” He said this with a smile.
The Raikage took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse, and sat down heavily in the center seat.
[Plop!]
The Raikage's weight caused a small jolt, and the word 'Thunder' that Funan had placed on the chair fell to the ground.
After rolling a bit, the sign stopped at the Raikage's feet.
He turned his head and looked at Funan silently again.
Funan immediately looked away and started whistling.
"Humph!"
The Raikage snorted heavily and nodded to Dodai who was speechless.
Dodai sighed and walked steadily toward the center of the field.
"This year's Chunin Exam will be conducted by me, Dodai!"
Dodai walked purposefully to the center of the area and announced loudly: "Now, Genin from each village participating in the exam, come forward and take a number."
Five people from Konoha!
Seven people from Kumogakure!
Five people from Iwagakure!
Three people from Kirigakure!
Exactly twenty people.
Hmm?
Funan looked at these people, his brows slightly frowned, he turned his head to look at Yakumo and nodded slightly.
Yakumo smiled brightly and walked forward with a firm step.
The Raikage and others couldn't help but frowned and said: "The Hokage's disciple is also going to participate?"
"Although she is my disciple, a Genin is a Genin, and at best, she is just a little girl with little practical experience. It's normal to check her strength!"
Funan's response was nonchalant.
Yashiro and others who knew him knew that there would be problems in this Chunin exam, otherwise, the Hokage would not send Yakumo out.
Although this girl is not yet thirteen years old, she already has a level close to that of a Jonin.
Everyone who participated in this Chunin exam was the elite among the genin.
In terms of strength, they are no worse than ordinary Chunin, but they have not been given the title of Chunin.
As for whether there will be Chunin or even Jonin who will disguise themselves and participate in the assessment...
There must be shameless people who do so!
Look at that old man Onoki, he is the most likely old thief.
Funan thought maliciously.
If someone wanted to do something suspicious, it was completely normal.
As for why Funan let Yakumo participate...
Funan stared at the shinobi in the venue with a surprised look in his eyes.
He had seen a shinobi who shouldn't be there.
A young man of sixteen or seventeen, not very tall, who wore glasses and had a refined air.
Kabuto!
He was wearing the Otogakure ninja headband and a fake smile on his face.
Kabuto was a talented individual. He possessed exceptional talent for medical ninjutsu and was also an expert in psychological tactics.
Funan at one point thought about recruiting him to be by his side.
He believed that Kabuto could completely replace Shikaku and become his assistant.
For this reason, he sent people to look for him.
But unfortunately, Kabuto was only a shooting star.
The people sent by Funan saw him in Konoha, and then he disappeared.
That can only mean that Yakushi Nono had already died.
Damn Danzo!
Funan really admired that old bastard.
It seemed that any bad thing could be related to him.
There are thousands of wronged souls in the shinobi world, and half of them are caused by Danzo!
What a tragedy... A young woman in the prime of her life, in her early twenties, dead before she could be saved by me...
Funan sighed deeply.
If he had to name the women Funan felt the most regret towards, one would be Uzumaki Kushina.
The other, Yakushi Nono.
The gentle big sister, just gone like this!
No wait, I changed the shinobi world. Nono might not be dead.
I shouldn't jump to conclusions.
I must not give up hope!
I must stand firm!
Funan took a deep breath.
